ISLE Program

ISLE welcomes applicants from ISLE consortium colleges, as well as from students from outside the ISLE consortium. Academically strong and highly motivated candidates who can adjust to, empathize with, and reap academic benefits from intensive exposure to a significantly different social, cultural, and material environment are encouraged to apply.

Interested students from ISLE consortium college are encouraged to consult with their college's ISLE Program Campus Representative and off-campus study or study abroad office. These representatives and offices have copies of the ISLE Program informational materials and application forms. Students attending colleges outside the ISLE consortium should contact Dr. Sree Padma Holt, ISLE Program Administrative Director.

The early decision deadline for applications to the fall 2011 ISLE Program is 1 December 2010. Thereafter, applications are considered on a rolling basis until 1 March 2011.
